I was really thrown by "Mouse: P.I. For Hire" where you are a private eye trying to solve a murder but by the end of the game you've killed like 300 bad guys. Yes, they all shot first but still, I have to imagine the cops have some questions.

On the one hand, I do almost always take paragon paths. OTOH, I work out a lot of my daily frustrations in shooter games (where they almost always attack me first anyway).

Being a sentient person in 2026 means arguing in public for issues you never thought you would have to articulate out loud: "Read to your children yourself instead of outsourcing it to a robot!" "Don't televise executions!" Things like that.

And I wish this was overstating the case, but these guys have said this out loud, with their full chests, *in the clear.* Go looking and you’ll see. They haven’t been shy about it. They think you’ll LIKE the idea of not being intelligent till you think you need to be, and until you’ve paid for it. 😑

Plainly the ability to create, and to do it out of nothing (as gods are said to do), *terrifies* these people. They’re stealing true created stuff to make a cheap fake “autocorrect” version—locking creativity into a cash register to which they’ll sell you metered access. At an ever-increasing price.

Prescription lenses for my Meta Quest 3 are cheaper than I thought they'd be and I might get some in the future. I'll probably need to get a new prescription just for them, though, since I wear progressive bifocals normally and you wouldn't need those for a VR headset.

Temu wants me to buy an SDF-1 building blocks kit from them. First of all, it’s clearly an LLM image; secondly, the United Earth bought an SDF-1 from Temu and look what happened to THEM.

Considering a friend’s cosplay from the 80s, I’ve decided I’m saying “Orion dancing girl” from now on. Pike’s fantasy does not show that Vina’s enslaved; Marta was a mental patient; furthermore, Enterprise and Lower Decks have both suggested that’s a misogynist reading.

I had to tell my mom that she didn't have to approve of my life choices, but she had the choice of stopping the grief she was giving me about them or having me break contact with her. I did not enjoy going there. She'd been there for me in so many ways over my life. But things had come to that.
